Technical company member

Organisations interested in interacting closely with the EI’s technical work programme who have a narrower scope of work or field of interest may become EI Technical Company Members. Our Technical Company Members specify their areas of interest and interact with our technical work programme in those areas.

Staff sit on appropriate technical committees, but do not vote on/set the programme. As a Technical Company Member your organisation may also support the work of the EI’s main committees by responding to their requests for specialist experience and expertise.

Technical Partner Membership

EI Partnership is the highest grade of EI Company Membership. We work closely with around 40 Technical Partners; the world's larger energy companies who demonstrate industry leadership through their contribution to our technical work.

Our Technical Partners set and fund the EI’s scientific and technical programme. Independent auditing has demonstrated a return on investment of 50/1 through safety and efficiency improvements to our partners’ operations. The cost to any one company of undertaking specific research/development activities is therefore significantly reduced.
